Encenação de Bruno Bravo, teatro Viriato, Outubro 2012

São duas bodas à mesa de madeira, uma de Anton Tchékhov e outra de Bertolt Brecht. Agradável ida ao teatro. Intriga sem deslumbrar, o ruído é muito, complicado sem sem complexo?

Henry Howard Crampton

In one of his essays, Stephen Jay Gould notes how a hero of his named Henry Edward Crampton spent fifty years, from 1906 to his death in 1956, quietly studying a genus of land snails called partula in Polynesia. Over and over, year after year, Crampton measured to the tiniest degree - to eight decimal places - the whorls and arcs and gentle curves of numberless Partula, compiling the results into fastidiously detailed tables. A single line of text in a Crampton table could represent weeks of measurement and calculation.
